Equipping the U.S. Armed Forces with the Sword of the Spirit
This ministry is dedicated to getting Scriptures, tracts, our “Little Preachers” and our GOOD NEWS newspaper into the hands of U.S. Military Troops, active duty and Veterans.
Every Step of a Soldier’s Journey
We don’t know when our last day on earth will be. Neither do all the men and women who serve our country.
If today was the last day for someone you loved, who is serving in our military…wouldn’t you want them to be saved?
What is the Sword of the Spirit?
The Sword of the Spirit is one component of the Armor of God. The King James Bible represents the sword. Other pieces of the armor are: Helmet of Salvation, Breastplate of Righteousness, Belt of Truth, Shield of Faith, Feet of Peach, and of course, the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Bible. In the literature we provide, we give true messages about eternal salvation and how one can be saved through faith in Jesus Christ.
Gospel Packets
Years ago, Brother Patrick stood outside at entry gates to military bases, passing out Gospel tracts as people entered each day. Now, those tracts are packaged with many more and shipped around the world for our troops to enjoy.
GOOD NEWS Newspaper
Yes, a printed newspaper still works. Not everyone owns a Bible, but if we can share God’s GOOD NEWS in the form of a newspaper insert…it might be the best thing that someone can read that day! We also follow up with online Bible studies.
Veteran’s Day Gratitude
Across the nation, we’ve teamed up with local churches and volunteers who also connect with restaurants in their area who offer Veterans a free dinner or some type of recognition on Veteran’s Day.
Street Witnessing
Setting up a table full of literature is often a common scene on the street or at a convention. We offer literature that isn’t so common, and it has a message that can save someone for eternity.

Donations Make this Possible
All of the resources for the ministry have been provided through the generosity of God-fearing people that love our mission to our troops and love the Lord.
For those who happen to read this, I’m forever in debt to those that have backed this mission up for all these years. Thousands of Thank You for our FREEDOM cards have been written and thousands of coloring pictures have been colored for our Lord Jesus and for our troops.
I hope that you will pray for the salvation of those who are protecting our freedoms while serving in the Armed Forces. Please contact us if you would like for us to send you some thank you cards that you and your church can fill out for our soldiers. I invite you to join us in our effort to reach every member of the Armed Forces with the Gospel packet.
I am excited to see what God will do in and through you. We would love to hear from you. May the Lord richly bless you for all you do for Him. In Christ, Brother Patrick Hayes.
